For those of you who, like me, are fascinated by the survivability of our electronic/digital culture as compared with the thousands of years of the historical record already preserved around the world, I can highly recommend Alexander Stille's book The Future of the Past (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2002; Picador paperback ed., April 2003) as an essential read.
